John Zorn - The Alchemist (USA 2014)

More Zorn.

The ever prolific Mr. Zorn with yet another CD in 2014. Another of his Mystic series with two compositional works, one for string Quartet and the other For Voices. I'm not a big fan of his vocal works in this idiom, but it is impressive none-the-less. The title track, being the string quartet, is more enjoyable for my palate and although I am not a big fan of this sort of thing, I do like to listen to this sort of stuff occasionally. Of course it is sort of avant garde, so not an easy listen. Rating 3/5.

About Me

Well, I dig Music of almost all variants, I love tramping/hiking in the Bush/Mountains. I enjoy reading, movies and growing my vege garden. I muck around on my computer a lot and I also follow sports a bit, especially Rugby and Cricket.
